ESP32 Dev

1. Camera Face Recognition

wiring setupcamera

After connecting the wires to the ESP32 board and connecting the camera module, the Arduino code was uploaded to the board. The board connected to WiFi and was ready to start streaming.
The face detection worked and was able to draw a box around my face.

Initial face detection

When face recognition was also selected, I was recognized as an intruder since I had not enrolled my face yet.

Enrolling my face in the system was as easy as pressing the enroll face button.

I put on my sunglasses and my face was no longer recognized by the system.

This exercise was very interesting to see how a camera module operates and to think about how many uses these features have.
